MCAT Fee Assistance Program Now Open

By Admissions on Oct 27, 2023

Paying the MCAT registration fee can be challenging for some applicants. To help applicants who would be unable to take the MCAT without financial assistance, the AFMC and AAMC offer the MCAT Fee Assistance Program. This program provides fee assistance to legal Canadian residents with demonstrated financial need. The program has two application rounds: the first closes on January 3, 2024 at noon Eastern time, and the second closes on March 2, 2024 at 3:00 pm Eastern time. Please click on the link above to learn more about the program, including eligibility criteria, benefits, application process, and timelines.
